This month we'll be re-broadcasting an episode in which John and Ken questioned The Legacy of Sigmund Freud (born May 6,1856) with Paul Robinson, author of "Freud and His Critics." More recently Josh and Ray did more than just question Freud's checkered legacy as they asked their Stanford colleague (and sometime co-host) Blakey Vermeule what has replaced Freud. That's just one of the episodes in this month's playlist featuring other philosophers born in the Taurus/Gemini range.
